Watcha Reading?

Finished up What Zombies Fear, was a decent read, but, I will say that not good enough to entice me to purchase the follow up books, as well as they follow ups just aren’t as interesting. They delve way to much into fantasy and strange new powers for zombies and some that are bitten by […]

Watcha Reading?

Finished the latest Bob Moore book by Tom Andry (Hostile Territory). It was good, perhaps 4 stars instead of 5. Omega Days by John L. Campbell was a pretty good zombie book, focusing on several characters and their travails as they cross the San Francisco-Oakland area after a breakout, and these characters come together (or […]

Watcha Reading?

OK, since last Sunday I’ve finished Dark Legion (The Lockman Chronicles #2) by Rob Cornell, a nice follow up to Darker Things. Vampires! Werewolves! Ghosts! Mystery! Action! Can’t wait till the 3rd book this summer. Also, Plague Zone by David Wellington. A different type of zombie book, not really zombies, but people who have caught […]

Watcha Reading?

Since last Sunday I finished Collapse (New America Book one) by Richard Stephenson. Damned good book about what the collapse of America could look like, with idiot politicians all around. Stephenson goes to great pains to avoid political labels. He also uses lots of personal stories with great characters. War with Iran, massive hurricanes, power […]

Whatcha Reading?

Figure I’ll just do this once a week from now on on Sundays. Finished the latest by Mark Tufo, Callis Rose, more along the lines of horror, which he does well. Much like Stephen King, Tufo builds up. Everything seems “fine” (that’s relative, since Callis is orphaned early and has a few tough times) until […]

Whatcha Reading?

Just finished 900 Miles, which was a really good zombie book about a man trying to get from NYC to Atlanta. He took a business trip which his 9 month pregnant wife did not want him to take. The focus was more about the quick breakdown in society, and morality, in just a few days. […]

Whatcha Reading?

I experience this typically one to two times a week. Yes, that does mean I read that many books a year. Mostly science fiction, some fantasy (no frigging sparkly vampires!), a bit of mystery/thriller, and good zombie books as much as I can get them. Though, the one I just finished by Lisa Olsen, Angel […]

The One Book You Should Read: An Act Of Self Defense

If you’ve been reading my site for long, you know I do not really do book reviews. The entire category for Books is only 24 posts long, and most aren’t actually reviews of books I’ve read. And I read a lot. I average 1-2 books a week, and, yes, mostly fiction. Primarily science fiction and […]

Reading Books Is Apparently Bad For Globull Warming

All you folks who read books, you are killing Gaia, and need to immediately buy an e-reader (until the alarmists determine that they are bad for Gaia). From TerraPass Unfortunately, the business of publishing books, newspapers, and magazines has a large environmental impact. In addition to the tens of millions of trees harvested every year, […]

Tuesday Funny: So, How’s That Joe Wilson/Valerie Plame Movie Doing?

The answer would be: beyond dismal. This bit of fanciful fluff, which attempts to paint Valerie Wilson as just a normal mom before 9am, to some sort of international spy flying around the world putting out fires, being involved in firefights, like James Bond, during the day, opened Friday, November 5th, and, pulled in a […]
